Crystal Palace (h) pre-match thread

I agree with all of this but can't see Manga getting the nod. Otamendi has looked suspect at times and is possibly our weakest link but I dont see him gettimg dropped in the prem. It's good that he has competition though from both Mangala and Vinny. Similar with the midfield where the 3 above all have to put in 9/10 or better or they are in danger of losing their place! Yaya, Gundogan and B Silva would probably start in every other prem team bar the chavs.

Ota over Mangler all day at the moment. The Mangler is still raw at Peps way and still has a lot to learn. Not saying he wont but as of today, he should be behind Ota in the pecking

Think the game is on Bein sport and Skynet

No thanks! After his performance on Wednesday we shouldn't want Yaya anywhere near the starting XI right now.

If we are a few goals up after an hour than maybe bring on Yaya or Delph but Fern is definitely neeeded from the 1st minute.

And if we score in the first 5 - what do they do then?

They would still play the same to limit the damage. Hodgson is not Marco Silva to play an open game.

 

[allan harper]

Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Stones, Mendy, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Sterling, Dave, Sane, Aguero.
Subs: Bravo, Danilo, Kompany, Foden, Diaz, Bernardo, Jesus.

That's how I see us lining up, I think he'll keep one striker fresh for Tuesday night.

City 2-0

After our swashbuckling last few games, I think this is going to be a tight one. Woy is a decent if boring manager, and he will not want a 6-0 thumping. Especially considering their dismal league form and the fixtures they have coming up (United, Chelsea).

So I expect him to have them well organised and defending for their lives. They don't have the quality to press us and cause any problems. If they do that, they will get thrashed. So they will play 9-0-1 for most of the game.

So I am going for a typical City, 20 attempts but only 1 goal. 1-0 City.

Although I agree with Roys plan think it will be 2 - 0
